In the very nice subdivision outside of greystone, a highend gated community, i saw a current apprasial about a week ago with market value of a nice 2100sqft garden home @$193,000....paying taxes around $1,000....not calculating deductions.....not bad...some its even lower....areas which don't even pay municipal tax.....cut an extra %30 off the property tax bracket....That about sums it up as far as my eyes can see...yeah-Art

I'm based in Garden Grove, and have been driving my neighborhood to develop a list of prospects.

There's already been some early warning signs that the management isn't at the top of their game and it's because those areas aren't exactly garden spots that I want management to be strong.

Turning the yard of a SFR into a pick your own produce garden for the neighborhood.2.

Through Garden State MLS How did you finance this deal?

@Todd Moss you can still deduct mortgage interest from a rental property, and you also get depreciation, which could be hefty in your case.

I own 45 rentals in westland, livonia, redford, garden city. i am also a broker. contact me if you want to work with me.

I told tenant to fix this by hiring a gardener to do the work and reminded her of her responsibility, yet nothing was done, so received a 2nd letter from the city.
